The third hour was dedicated to one case in particular: the teenage girl I’d shot to death because I’d had no choice Warren Jacobi had been h-speed car chase through the Tenderloin As I said, she was cute Deceptively so When caught, she got out of her father’s sixty-thousand-dollar car and reached for her learner’s perun

She shot me and Jacobi I was in bad shape and Jacobi orse, unconscious and bleeding out onto the asphalt

The young lady was still shooting when I un from its holster and return fire

A fifteen-year-old would-be cop killer had gone down Despite , her rich faful death, and I’d been tried in civil court

It was a horrible experience Those sa over me now

I answered Hoyt’s questions about the shooting

I had fired in self-defense

I regretted that I’d had to kill that girl, but the situation had demanded it

Yes, yes, yes, I had shot several other people in the last few years, and all those shootings had been fully justified and there had been no resulting disciplinary or legal action
